wow,
another great moc from mladen.
i actually found this on his site
and came bak here to lugnet to look
for the post :-D

i like the tank look and the blue cokpit
a lot.  i also really like the modularity
and the way you used the radar dishes the
way that you did on the hovertank.  wings
and dishes make nice shapes together.
i really like all the shapes on this moc.

but the color scheme is a little drab, imho.
i always like to see what new color schemes
you use, and this one is just grey and black.

still a totally awesome moc :-D

thx

A couple of goals I had with this model:
- Create a mecha that looked tank-ish in nature (I got inspiration from the
French Leclerc, the German Leopard 1 & 2, and a bit from the American Abrams
M1A2).
- Make the pilot cockpit/cabin blue, completely blue (because in real life
the interior colours of a vehicle are not always the same as the exterior).
- Make weapon systems that can be actually taken off of the mecha, for
inspection, reloading, repairs, etc. Makes sense, eh?
- Allow it to stand on a slippery surface and not fall (I already did this
for my MDP last year, but I wanted to do it again).

Well those were some of my motivations/guidelines for this particular mobile
platform. I hope they better explain some of the things pertaining to the model.

Enjoy!

Mladen Pejic, over and out!
